Maps/Size
1.Ragnarok (Valhalla) - Large (strangely works really well with 4v4, as it did in 3)
2.Longbow - Large
4.Exile - Large to Medium (works well with 4v4)
5.Complex - Medium to Large
6.Haven - Medium to Small
7.Adrift - Medium
8.Solace - Small
9.Abandoned - Small (appears to be smallest seen unless Solice is…)
10. ???
It makes sense for the 10th to be a smaller size map, but who knows? I was hoping that the 9th map to be announced was a large map that had mammoths on it, but sadly meltdown had no mammoths. It seems unlikely that the final map to be shown would be a large map (seeing how that’d make a lot of large scale maps) so it would seem Mammoths are not going to be in multiplayer. Unless of course they are still forgable and we can see some community maps with them later on in Halo 4’s life cycle. Honestly I hope that they are forgable! Especially if they aren’t on a default map!
Forge Enviroments
- Ravine
2.??? (hopefully snowy)
3.??? (hopefully desert, Sandtrap anyone:)?)
Ragnarok Vehicles
If you look Here, you can see that Ragnarok looks much more vehicle baised than Valhalla ever was. You can see 6 vehicles per base! You can see: A ghost, two mongooses, one banshee, one worthog, and one Mantis and that’s all per base. Personally I wish Ragnarok (or at least the standard version of it) would just follow the vehicle set-up of Valhalla which is: two mongooses, a worthog, and a banshee. Though I know this isn’t likely to happen. I don’t mind the idea of being a ghost on this map, but I’d rather not deviate from the matchmaking version of Valhalla. I honestly don’t think Ragnarok should be as vehicle baised as it is. It doesn’t seem like it should be… Here’s what my ideal Vehicle selection for it.
Standard Ragnarok (my Ideal selection)
Worthog
Mongoose
Banshee
Heavies Ragnarok
Mantis
Ghost
Mongoose
Banshee
Scorpion (I don’t think the scorpion would work well on this map, but it was in the Mantis trailer which was on Ragnarok. It was likely done for demonstration of it’s power but who knows)
The Mantis
I’m fine with it in multiplayer, but honestly it should be a heavies vehicle only. It’s strong and tears up any vehicle in seconds (Yes! Even the tank!), it’s not as slow as everyone says it is, and it’s tough to take down (can survive two spartan laser shots, just like a tank can!). So personally I think it’s a little overpowered for a standard vehicle. But I think it’d hold it’s own well in Heavies. It’d be a great addition to Heavies.
A Scorpion would work great on Ragnarok. Put it in the middle and players will go for it. Plus it’s not open enough to be OPed.
Its surprising that so many people don’t remember the observation building from the grifball court demonstration… kinda obvious forge map.

Well yes, it could be part of one. Like the room in the side of the mountain in forge world in Reach. It could easily be something like that don’t you think? Surely the enclosure where they showed off Griffball wasn’t the full enviroment.
True, maybe multiple rooms and its just walled off, but its a great size none the less.
Map #3, which has been mysteriously removed from your list, is my favourite so far.

Yeah it might work, do you agree with my Heavies statement? Because I’d much rather have the standard be just the vehicles that were on Matchmaking Valhalla.

The eff??? I didn’t remove it! I guess the moderators might have… Which if that were the case I won’t put it back on there, because I’d rather not push any buttons and have my thread locked! <mark>But yes, mysterious indeed!</mark> And I am really loving the look of that map (as far as the enviroment) but I don’t know if I’d actually like how it played. I’m skeptical on that part, but it still looks good!
I’m a bit sad that there aren’t as many small to medium-sized maps as I’d hoped, but I suppose the Halo 3-style, close-knit, close-quarters maps wouldn’t work as well with the Halo 4 gameplay style. The armor abilities and movement speed in Halo 4 create a need for bigger maps, so I suppose that’s okay. I’m just glad that all the maps looks good!
Valhalla did not work with 4v4 in Halo 3. I’m sure it’ll be fine in Halo 4 though.As for the vehicles on that map I’d like to see how 343i set up plays out before I start calling for a change.
The 10th map was shown early by the way. And I’m sure the map that grifball was shown on is one of the 3 forge maps.

The entire Grifball arena was created out of Forge objects, according to 343i. Also, we have a different Forge pallet for each map, meaning that Forge objects on one map won’t look the same as the Forge objects on the next.

I knew this, though I know it wasn’t built on Ravine, Ravine looked like a forefunner pallet. I hope there is a desert forge world with forgable mammoths so I can make a Sandtrap-esk map!
> Cannot wait for Ragnarok
Agreed! Valhalla is one of my favorite Halo maps, so I’m super excited!
I really hope the last map is a small, possibly symmetrical one. I’m all for BTB maps, but there doesn’t seem to be enough small ones in my opinion.

A 4v4 symmetrical Covie themed map!

No he didnt. He posted it, but the mods removed it. You should remove it too, because it’s considered a leak
